Very strange....

Was out to eat last night and saw a WDP with a full A-SPEC kit but no A-SPEC badge. Asked the guy driving it if he had the suspension and he says "it's got every option available!". I guess the only option he forgot about was the badge. The guy was kind of a jackass about it even after I complimented him about his car.

Maybe he just didn't want to put it on. Sucks that he was rude about it though.

Sounds like he was cranky because his BMW or Jaguar was in the shop...

The badge comes with the A-Spec suspension. Some members leave the badge off. Just personal preference.

The dealer actually installed mine when they put on my ASPEC suspension
I debadged completely a couple of months later
But Ive had a LOT of people pull up next to me since then and ask what kind of car it was..
Sometimes I answer and sometimes I just act like I dont speak english and throw my hands up like wha wha?

It comes with the A-Spec suspension (the directions even show the install of the badge).

When I got it installed, Park Ave Acura put the badge on without asking me. I ended up taking it off eventually though. So I'm fully A-Spec'd (except I have different rims), and I don't have the badge either. Like an earlier poster...just personal preference.

I'm debadged as well. I only have the front and rear "A" emblem. The badge doesn't say jack anyways. People can visually tell if it is or not (bodykit, wheels and all).

From that kind of an answer, I'd wager he DIDN't have the suspension. I don't think most people who mod their cars and know what they're talking about would have said "It has every option available"

I bet he bought it that way with the body kit from the dealer and didn't have a clue.

Were there any other visible signs of modding?

Heh...
If he don't know the difference there's no telling what the dealer installed.

I de-badged all but the A-Spec badge...
